There's two things which spring to mind off the top of my head.
1)  The second time it isn't actually linking, just checking the dependencies.
    (I don't mean to insult your intelligence, but it is a possibility that
     you just didn't look very closely.  :)

2)  There is a discrepancy between the system clock and the timestamp on the
    files.  Usually this should only occur with source files and thus causing
    a re-compile, not JUST a re-link.  (Since the re-link uses object files
    which theoretically were just written and took their time from the clock.)

A third possibility is that your project file has become corrupted.  This seems
to somehow happen all too frequently to me.  I'll start getting a bunch of
"Exception 13/)d"'s or just error messages which make no sense.  If I delete 
the project file and rebuild it from scratch, this often clears up the problem.

I know this doesn't really answer the question, but...   :)
